1. 

   
   TS698-UN-21SEP89

   Make sure that gate is locked. If gate is not locked while performing this procedure, the gate could close suddenly causing injury or death.

   To maintain drive protection, disassemble and clean dirt between the pressure plate and the disk spring. Dirt can become trapped between the pressure plate and the disk spring not allowing the disk spring to flatten.

   At the beginning of each season, verify that the baler or tractor main drive slip clutch is not seized. Otherwise drivetrain damage can occur.

   MegaWide™ HC2 equipped balers have a cam clutch in this same location that requires no maintenance.

   Raise gate fully using tractor hydraulics to slacken the belts.

2. Turn off tractor engine and remove key.

3. Lock gate.

4. Disconnect PTO driveline from tractor.

5. Loosen slip clutch bolts evenly. Failure to do so can cause clutch to fail.

   If the baler is operated with a seized-up clutch, damage to the drivetrain can result.

   Do not loosen cap screws more than three turns.
